description Laligam Sekhar Overview
Laligam N. Sekhar is an Indian-born American neurosurgeon known for treating complex disorders of the skull base and cerebral blood vessels. His work has included difficult tumor resections, aneurysm surgery, and cerebrovascular reconstruction using bypasses or arterial grafts when major vessels cannot be preserved directly. He has held an academic appointment at the University of Washington and has contributed to training in skull-base neurosurgery.
help Laligam Sekhar FAQ
What kinds of cases is Laligam Sekhar known for treating?
Laligam Sekhar is known for complex skull base tumors, aneurysms, and vascular lesions located near critical nerves and arteries. His work often combines tumor removal with reconstruction of cerebral blood flow.
What does cerebrovascular bypass or arterial grafting accomplish?
A bypass creates an alternate route for blood when a diseased or tumor-involved artery cannot safely remain in use. Sekhar has helped develop grafting strategies for cases involving major vessels around the skull base.
Where does Laligam Sekhar practice?
Sekhar has long been associated with the University of Washington and Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. His academic work spans neurological surgery, skull base anatomy, and cerebrovascular reconstruction.
How does Sekhar's work differ from routine meningioma surgery?
Many of his cases involve tumors wrapped around the carotid artery, cranial nerves, or other structures that make straightforward removal dangerous. Such operations may require skull base exposure and a planned vascular bypass rather than tumor excision alone.
